The European Commission launched Calls for proposals worth €350 million to finance European transport infrastructure (TEN-T), for projects in all EU Member States and for all transport modes: air, rail, road, maritime and inland waterways.

The European Union will co-finance with €620,000 from the TEN-T Programme a study for the creation of an intermodal hub in the Spanish region of Asturias. The aim is to foster intermodality and modal shift from road to other modes of transport.

The European Union will co-finance with over €5.3 million from the TEN-T Programme two initiatives for the extension of the Vienna trimodal port's container handling capacity and improvements to the overall intermodality of the port. Both the studies and works, which contribute to the realisation of the "Railway axis Paris-Strasbourg-Stuttgart-Wien-Bratislava" (TEN-T Priority Project 17) and the "Waterway axis Rhine/Meuse-Main-Danube" (TEN-T Priority Project 18) will help eliminate major bottlenecks in the port's transfer and combination capacity.

The European Union will support with just over €6.1 million from the TEN-T Programme a project to upgrade the transport link between northern Sweden and western Finland, including land and waterborne transport systems. It will also contribute to the realisation of the "Motorways of the Sea" (TEN-T Priority Project 21) concept.
